Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring contrast of the high, sweet falsetto floating over the bone-rattling distorted riff in 'Grinder'.
The sudden shift into a gospel-inflected choir arrangement during 'Church' that feels like a spiritual reset.
The slow-burn psychedelic sprawl of the nearly eight-minute closer 'Down to Ride' where the guitar finally lets loose.
